Well, well, well, The THEATRE INVESTIGATION GROUP?!!! pretty much sums up what him and his ILK get up to, pure acting and rehearsed drama's.<br><br> Maybe he had enough of his collegues riding round in arab dress, driving cars reported stolen in america, then exported to iraq and booby trapped and rigged with explosives? maybe he was looking for his whistle to blow?<br><br> Still the military have always told us the turth so far eh? better believe them, i mean would they lie to us?<br><br> Its amazing to still some people stuck in the dark ages regarding america was the 'good' guy in vietnam? well i suppose the communists were the al qaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeda of there day, and we all know how many people actually swallow that today. <p></p><i></i>
